I proposed that tariffs replace the corporate income tax.

Sounds good.   Taxes are for either raising revenue or for making it hard to do something, but not both.  I you're proposing tariffs for revenue than we want lower rates.  If you want to protect domestic markets then you don't want revenue. 

Which is it?

I don’t believe in corp taxes, because those are just passed on to the consumer. And I don’t believe in trade deficits. A tariff cures both ills. It’s consumption based and it strengthens domestic production, a national security issue to me. There are plenty of right-to-work states for production here. There is no reason to offshore.
